"Servant of God Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey (1837-1915) was a French nun of the Daughters of Charity who was determined to find the original house of Mary in Ephesus, Asia Minor, now Turkey.
"According to Christian Tradition, Mary, the Mother of God - whose solemnity is Jan. 1 - came to Ephesus in Asia Minor with John the Apostle after the resurrection of Christ and lived there several years until she was assumed into heaven.
"The house was hidden and unknown until Sister Marie worked to find and preserve it."
A recent National Catholic Register article reported on Sister Marie's ministries and other research leading up to her finding of Mary's house, which is now considered to be one of the holiest shrines in all of Christendom.
